Starting an E-commerce business on Amazon can be a lucrative venture for entrepreneurs. The Amazon platform offers a ready-made audience for online sellers, making it easier to reach a larger customer base than starting a standalone e-commerce website. However, starting an e-commerce business on Amazon requires a lot of planning, education, and capital. This article will outline the key factors required to start an e-commerce business on Amazon.

One must invest time in research, sourcing products, setting up an Amazon seller account, and creating product listings. It is also essential to spend time analyzing data and adjusting strategies to improve sales. Money Starting an e-commerce business on Amazon also requires a significant financial investment. You need to invest in inventory, product listing fees, and advertising to increase visibility and drive sales. Additionally, you may need to hire experts in areas such as product photography, copywriting, and SEO to optimize product listings. Patience Starting an e-commerce business on Amazon requires patience. It takes time to gain traction and build a loyal customer base. It is essential to be patient and persistent, even when facing setbacks. Acceptance of Failure Starting an e-commerce business on Amazon involves a significant risk of failure. Accepting that failure is possible and that not all products will generate profit is crucial. Being willing to pivot strategies and try new approaches is critical to long-term success. Bringing in the Right Third-Parties One of the most crucial factors in starting an e-commerce business on Amazon is bringing in the right third parties. There are several third parties you may need to work with to run a successful Amazon business. You Need a 3PL Partner for Scalability To scale your e-commerce business, you need a third-party logistics (3PL) partner. A 3PL partner will help you manage your inventory, store, and fulfill orders. However, finding a 3PL partner that does not cut into your profit margin is challenging. You can start by prepping your products out of your garage or having your suppliers pre-prep them for Amazon, but that takes a lot of work. Education To start an e-commerce business on Amazon, you need to educate yourself. There are plenty of resources available, including books, blogs, and courses. You should take advantage of these resources and learn about different sourcing strategies, scaling techniques, and how to optimize your Amazon business. Scaling Requires More than One Person Scaling an e-commerce business on Amazon requires more than one person. You need a team of experts to handle different aspects of your business, including product sourcing, marketing, inventory management, and logistics.

The current political climate and global health crisis have disrupted many aspects of the supply chain, including sourcing from China. For ecommerce businesses, this means finding alternative sourcing solutions outside of China. One potential solution is sourcing from Latin America, which offers a growing consumer market and proximity advantages. In this article, we'll explore the benefits of sourcing from Latin America, how to start sourcing from the region, and other potential sourcing options outside of China. Time Stamps 0:00:00 | "Exploring Sourcing from China with Will Bastard of Ascend Cap Ventures" 0:03:05 | Exploring the Challenges and Opportunities of Sourcing from Latin America with Will 0:03:38 | Exploring the Benefits of Manufacturing in Latin America for Businesses 0:07:06 | Exploring the Benefits of Sourcing from Latin America for US Businesses 0:09:07 | Exploring Opportunities in Latin America: Networking Strategies for Business Owners 0:10:03 | Exploring Alternatives to China for Sourcing and Manufacturing 0:14:13 | Discussion on US-China Relations and Dependence on China in Asia 0:15:39 | Interview with Will Bastian of Ascend Cap Ventures: Global Sourcing and Starting an Ecommerce Business on Amazon in 2023 and Beyond The Challenges of Sourcing from China China has been a dominant force in the global manufacturing industry for decades, with many businesses relying on China for their sourcing needs. However, recent events have highlighted the potential risks and challenges of relying solely on China for sourcing. Geopolitical tensions between China and other countries, such as the United States, can lead to trade barriers, tariffs, and other disruptions. Additionally, the COVID-19 pandemic has caused logistical and supply chain issues, such as factory shutdowns and delays in shipping. Sourcing from Latin America As China sourcing becomes more challenging, many businesses are turning to Latin America as an alternative. The region offers several advantages, including a growing consumer market and proximity to the United States. Tampa Bay in Florida, for example, is a popular location for businesses sourcing from Latin America due to its proximity to ports and transportation infrastructure. While labor costs may be slightly higher than in China, other factors, such as reduced lead times, can offset this cost. Other potential sourcing locations outside of China include Southeast Asia and India. Vietnam, in particular, has emerged as a strong alternative to China, with a growing manufacturing sector and a relatively stable political climate. Starting to Source from Latin America If you're interested in sourcing from Latin America, it's important to know the right people. Networking events, trade shows, and conferences can be valuable resources for making connections with potential suppliers and partners. One way to start building relationships is to attend industry events in Latin America, such as the eCommerce Summit in Buenos Aires or the Latin American Ecommerce Forum in Santiago. These events can provide opportunities to meet with local suppliers and distributors and learn about the region's ecommerce market. It's also important to have a clear understanding of the regulatory and legal requirements for sourcing from Latin America. This may include understanding customs regulations, import/export requirements, and taxes and tariffs. Mitigating Sourcing Risk One of the challenges of sourcing from outside China is the potential risk of supply chain disruptions. To mitigate this risk, it's important to diversify your sourcing options and avoid concentrating your supply chain in just one region. This may involve sourcing from multiple countries or regions, or even sourcing from different suppliers within the same region. Additionally, it's important to have contingency plans in place to address any supply c...
About four years ago, a lot of these so-called automation companies started popping up that had a lot of big promises about essentially building you an Amazon business, running it for you, and then splitting the profits, which sounds great on the surface. But what happens if there is a slowdown in getting the product listed? There are inventory risks, you can't control buying trends necessarily all the time. Additionally, you have no control over when Amazon will enter the market, gather that information, invest all of its resources, and then undercut your price, causing your product to stay on the market for a long time. So how can you solve that problem? In this episode, our guest is Will Basta, the co-founder of Ascend Ecom. They build and scale you a sustainable e-commerce asset worth up to 3 to 10 times your investment in 24 to 36 months. They're a wholesale distributor, and an E-commerce investment management company. Today, we're going to talk about how can you grow your e-commerce business, the risks on Amazon, and Will's secret to success.

He's gonna drop some amazing tips if you're already an Amazon seller, as well as help you figure out how to get on Amazon and how to grow your store. So check out today's episode with Will Basta on Making Bank: (2:49) Will's Background And Career Journey Will started off working in the tech space and soon became an entrepreneur. Once he caught onto the entrepreneurial bug, things changed for him. There was no going back. His first venture was a digital marketing company and soon went into automation where he managed to successfully scale that company up. He also has a passion for healthcare which was what led him into the entrepreneurial life in the first place and he was also always investing in a lot of small projects on the side where he could do finance. (4:28) Will's Digital Market Agency Career: Failures and Successes Will talks about how he started a digital market agency and that he has had some successes and also some failures and all the while still investing on the side. Will also talks about his other business partners, what they invested in together, the journey they took, the events, challenges they had to overcome, and everything else that they did that led them to where they are now with 400+ clients, two warehouse facilities in Dallas and an Office in Los Angeles. (7:14) Will explains about being an Automation Provider and Wholesale distributor Millions of sellers on Amazon's platforms, and also on Walmart, all with different backgrounds, could be doing business out of their garage, and could also be doing FBA FBM but all having similar problems. Lack of time, lack of manpower, lack of the right data, etc. So, Will explains that automation is essentially putting all the workload, and infrastructure on them and letting them leverage their capital for their businesses. This will accelerate them into the ecosystem of Amazon and makes them extremely competitive without having their time taken out of their days. (10:28) Will talks about how the company helps their clients Will tells us about how many clients, from different backgrounds, some with experience and some without have reached out to them and they help them expand their businesses. They will handle all the workload for them, the infrastructure and many more so the business will be brought to the next level. (13:18) “We are not charging 2$ per package. We're wrapping everything into one cost” Will here talks about how there are lots of negative effects of using a third-party warehouse. There is zero prioritization of the products going to Amazon's warehouse or to the end client and on top of that most charge over 3$ per package for prep work. This ends up making a huge difference hence Will says that they do not charge per package but they do it under a one-time cost policy. (14:01) Practices and Strategies used Will explains how they source products, and how they use seasonal data to know what is selling at certain times of the year. He talks about how there is some slight risk involved in all the data and guesses but then they mitigate that out with stuff that they know is selling really well. He explains in detail how they undercut a lot of competitors with various strategies and skill sets. (19:05) Gating and ungating Will talks about the various tips, and tricks that they use to help their clients. He also talks about how they help their clients get unrestricted to be able to sell their products on Amazon. Their company is a wholesale distributor they can accelerate the process of being a legitimate one, and help with ungating which most sellers aren't aware of. So they help them really get into the market and be able to excel. (22:20) Private Labeling Will talks about how it is a very important aspect of a long-term play. He says they have their own exclusive private label team, and they have manufacturers within the US and abroad and this helps them hold value over themselves and makes them unique. (25:11) Couple more tips and ideas Will talks about how they do a hybrid model of wholesaling with private labeling. A little bit of arbitrage with FBM and FBA. He talks about how important diversity is when you are sourcing products so that you can always pump in more money whenever you need it.
